The forum will be 6:30 p.m. in the Mattawan Later Elementary School cafeteria.

The district already has hosted two forums in the fall, formed a citizens committee and has conducted a community survey and held focus groups in regards to facility issues.

Earlier this month, the citizens community "discussed the pro's and con's of multiple concepts and narrowed those concepts down to be explored further," a press release said. Those concepts will be "presented and discussed" at Wednesday's event.

"Please consider attending this meeting!" the press release said. "With the future of the Mattawan Consolidated School District at stake, we need parents and community members involved to help us develop a proposal that helps address the numerous issues we have with our aging facilities."

Enrollment growth and the addition of all-day kindergarten in fall 2012 has created serious space problems, particularly at the elementary level, Mattawan Superintendent Patrick Bird has said.

At this point, Bird said, there is no administrative meeting space or elementary computer lab and some of the second-grade classrooms are housed in the Mattawan Later Elementary, which means those children need to walk across a parking lot to Mattawan Early Elementary for lunch and gym.

Twice in 2011, Mattawan voters rejected bond issues for new construction, saying district officials were asking for too much.

Bird has said he wants input from those "no" voters in helping to figure how what the community would support and how the district might proceed.
